Copyright is an important institution, serving a beneficial moral and economic purpose. But that does not mean it can or should be unlimited. It does not mean that we should abandon time-honoured moral and legal principles to allow endless encroachments on our civil liberties in the interests of the moguls of Hollywood.

signed. thanks for the heads up.

Would help to explain who Richard is and why we should or shouldn't care...

And yes, I read Wales' petition, but some will not bother clicking...

Then they will not bother caring. Pretty simple

I am skeptical that the petition will do anything. We are sadly moving towards a time where industry interests will dictate law and its interpretation. It's going to get a lot worse before it's going to get better.

head for the Ecuador embassy!

O'Dwyer created a website, called tvshack.net, that acted as a search engine for people to find out where they could watch and in some cases download popular TV shows, typically programmes not yet available outside the US. Some of the links led to legal sources, others to unauthorised sites. In that respect his site was no different from hundreds of thousands of services where the general public gathers to talk.

dude is done. I lov NWO

We're all gonna have to move to tor browsing soon if we want any internet freedom.

It says there are 70,868 out of 75,000 signatures. I thought you needed 100k for any action to be taken?

The target keeps moving. It was 15,000 when I signed (yeah, I'm a petition hipster).

Signed, thanks!
